Bob W.:
Greetings warbow enthusiasts, I spend quite a bit of time over here reading old threads and always look forward to new topics. Between Del and Wills and everyone else on both sides of the pond you guys rock, thank you! Well here is my first contribution to the warbow forum, the ELB I posted a couple years ago don't count even though I've since took the handle wrap off and added horn nocks. This  Warbow was from an 80" live edge yew log that was 1 3/4" thick and 7" wide. The sapwood was toast so i cut it off and sawed a  tapered slat right under it  and glued a  piece of bamboo I tapered right on top with about 2" of reflex. Well Ive been tillering her and would like your opinions and advice. Shes got a mary rose profile or as close as I can get with about 2MM coming off every 6". Right now its 110# @ 28 and thats as far as i have pulled on the tree.  Thanks Bob

Bob W.:
Braced

willie:
Hi Bob

Are you going for a longer pull?, or have much weight to loose?

from the braced view, my eye sez to scrape a bit on the left mid limb. The full draw pic would be easier to evaluate if it was taken straight on.

penderbender:
+1 to what Willie is saying. Cheers- Brendan

Bob W.:
Your right Willie a better pic would help ,  is this better? I could take it to 32 if my tiller looks good at 28, does'nt really matter I can only pull it back 20 or so inches now. Thank you  Brendan as well!
